One positive thing about the Carpocalypse? Caterham is reporting sales are up as super car owners trade in Ferraris and Porsches for the faster and cheaper Sevens.

In April alone, the tiny English company saw both a Ferrari F430 and Porsche 911 Turbo traded-in for the Caterham Seven. The company's faster models, such as the Cosworth-powered CSR260 easily out accelerate most supercars. In the US, Caterham's range starts at around $30,000.
